Pathology of Hepatobiliary Diseases

Dear Colleagues,

Hepatobiliary diseases are a highly complex and heterogeneous group of disorders that include a vast number of benign and malignant conditions. There has been a worldwide increase in the number of patients afflicted with hepatobiliary diseases. Light microscopic evaluation remains the gold standard for the diagnosis of most pediatric and adult primary hepatobiliary diseases, as well as focal or diffuse space-occupying lesions. These are very exciting times in liver pathology, as there has been tremendous improvement in our understanding of the pathogenetic process of many hepatobiliary disease processes and liver cancer, thus, further strengthening the role of pathologists evaluating liver biopsies.

This Special Issue aims to review advances in the pathology of pediatric and adult hepatobiliary diseases, such as cholestasis, steatohepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, cholangiopathies, vascular liver diseases, drug-induced liver injury, primary liver cancer and others. We welcome original submissions, reviews, or brief reports for this Special Issue.
